5 Daily Diet Tips to keep you in shape!

1) Weigh yourself every day. That’s right ladies, mulling over whether or not you lost weight for 7 days in a row will cause you undue stress. If you are stressed out, the body tends to fall into the fight or flight syndrome and it tells the brain that it is hungry. The longer you delay weighing yourself, the more stressed and eventually the will power induces you to step off the wagon and that is plainly not how to lose weight. Weighing yourself everyday does not mean you are obsessive, especially if you understand that the body can gain and lose 6 pounds in one day thanks to water weight loss and gain.
2) Tell everyone around you about your diet. The more people you bring into your world about your journey with weight loss, the more people you will disappointment if you fail. No one wants to fail, so tell the world; post it on YouTube even.
3) Don’t forget your daily dose of exercise,make sure you get your 20 minutes in whether it be walking, running or yoga. Remember that 20 min of walking can burn up to 200 calories of fat(walking requires less quick energy and a higher percentage of fat is burned)depending on your weight and the speed you walk. Here’s a tip when I don’t feel like working out I take a my dog for a walk to my local grocery store.
4) Take a day off! Sit back and relax, watch a couple episodes of South Park. Again this hint falls back to your stress level. As you diet and you lose weight, the mind and the body will finally get tired of keeping an eye on every calorie and marking down every bit of food and drink that is consumed. But, that does not mean you cannot take a day off. On the weekends, eat until you are full but do not keep track of anything. The day after your day off, go right back to the rigorous routine you have been abiding by and you will feel like a million dollars because of the time off.
5) Consume caffeine and lots of it. Okay, maybe not too much. The caffeine you consume in a drink is the same as the caffeine that is included in diet pills, the only deviation is you can control the source of the caffeine. Green tea has been scientifically proven to improve weight loss efforts and caffeine has been scientifically proven to increase metabolism, so why not mix them together. Hot green tea in the morning in place of that cup of coffee will also help reduce the amount of calories you consume during the day.

The Cookie Diet what it's all about?

A Miami Doctor is offering up a weight loss diet that may sound too extraordinary to be true. It's called The Cookie Diet, and it involves just that. Eating cookies to lose weight. But these are not just any cookies; they're specially formulated by the Cookie Diet's creator, Dr. Sanford Siegal, and baked in his own specially designed bakeries.

Dr. Siegal says his curriculum helps his patients shed an average of 13 pounds per month. The Cookie Diet works by drastically cutting down the intake of calories a person takes in during a 24 hour period. Rather than eating a breakfast or lunch, Siegal's patients eat 7 of his cookies -but not at mealtimes. Cookie Dieters only eat the appetite-controlling cookies only to avoid hunger.

The only genuine meal Cookie Dieters eat is dinner, when they are allowed to eat six ounces of chicken, seafood, turkey or fish and one cup of vegetables. Siegal frowns upon the consumption of red meats because they are loaded with fat and cholesterol. He encourages Cookie Dieters to drink a lot of liquids, at least eight servings a day including tea and coffee. Also suggested is a daily does of exercise to compliment your diet.

The combination of 7 cookies and a light, lean dinner is only 700 calories, far less than most people eat in 24 hour period. That is what makes the Cookie Diet effective, but also elicited a lot of criticism from critics.

Some dieticians are critical of the diet, declaring it a fad designed to tempt people with the idea that they can eat cookies all day while shedding pounds. They say that 700 calories is not enough to supply adequate energy for one day, and that the diet lacks nutritional value, vitamins and minerals needed for good health. Fruits, vegetables, calcium and fiber are notably absent from the Cookie Diet.

Dr. Siegal has responded to such criticism by commenting that his cookies do not carry appetite-suppressing drugs. Rather, they use oats, rice, whole wheat flower and bran, which contain amino acids that suppress hunger and energizer the body. He points out that his patients meet their nutritional needs with vitamins and supplements.

Another fear raised by critics is that the Cookie Diet does not provide enough carbohydrates for healthy living. The 7 cookies and light dinner add up to about 80 grams of carbohydrates, far less than the suggested 100 to 125 grams per day.

Dr. Siegal says his cookies are not intended to be a life-long replacement for a formal diet, but only a temporary means of shedding those unwanted pounds.

Some of the Cookie Diet's critics think Dr. Siegal's advocated 15 pounds of weight loss per month is too much for to lose in a month, too difficult to maintain, and unhealthy. He asserts that many of his patients do maintain there weight loss, and by using sustainment programs are able to keep those pounds off without coming back to the Cookie Diet.

Those most critical of the Cookie Diet and other low-carb, low-calorie diets argue that these types of eating systems lead to weight loss, but not necessarily the loss of body fat, and they are almost impossible to maintain.
